TailWind Nutrition is what I use during long runs or cycles. I was drawn to the brand because it promises to get you enough calories for an hour of exercise, in liquid form with "no gut bombs". This is beyond important to me because I have a notoriously wimpy tummy. I have had more GI DISTRESS on a single long run, than most people have in an entire year.
I started out by ordering their Sample Bundle, which has 7 different flavors for about $17! That's insanely cheap compared to other brands. My favorites are Raspberry Buzz and Berry. I like how strong the flavor is and true to form- no tummy aches and I've had good energy.
Several months ago I applied to be a Tailwind Nutrition ambassador, which would more or less mean I could endorse the brand, get discounts and be counted among a handful of incredible athletes. (Yeah I knooooow. It was a long shot, but I'm not one to let "no" stop me).
There's a guy named Cory that I follow on Facebook. He goes by the moniker "Fast Cory", does crazy ultra running stunts and has a book out, hilarious, btw. Cory always talks about TailWind and posted online about applying to be an ambassador, which is what spurred me on this time.
I actually emailed the TailWind brand a while back, likely over a year ago, and asked if they had sponsorships or ambassadors and at that time they did not. It's impressive to see how the brand and company has grown.
Naturally, I did not get the role I applied for, but what does stick out, is that TailWind sent goodie bags to all who applied!! Can you believe that? I'm pumped!
Thanks TailWind!
